Scientists found that natural bacteria can eat methane, cut climate pollution, and turn waste gas into useful materials.

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have effectively transformed methane (natural gas) into hydrogen while achieving ...

Taking a leaf out of the book of plants, scientists have used a photosynthesis blueprint to harness the power of sunlight and turn two of the most destructive greenhouse gases into useful, prized ...

Turning methane into ethylene with sunlight sounds like alchemy, but it is rapidly moving into the realm of practical chemistry. A new generation of solar-driven catalysts promises to convert a potent ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas contributes disproportionately to global warming because it traps more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, due to ...

They tuned methane molecules to specific quantum states, scattered them off a gold (Au) surface, and measured their states after the collision. The results, published in Science, revealed clear ...

The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...
